I'd like to see that used on a plane in economy. Given that I travel a lot and don't always end up in business/first, this is one of the first questions I ask myself when considering any new laptop.

Being a 6' tall 200lb person will be worse in economy than whatever laptop you're trying to use.

But how does extreme thinness help there?

I got alot of work done on planes with what passed for a laptop in the 1990s...

Not so much size, but weight. If your carry-on allowance is 7kg and you don't check baggage, having a laptop that weighs 3kg like the Vostro 17" is a big deal. If you've got a heavy laptop, you've got to either bring less stuff with you on your trip, or go through the hassle of checking baggage.

What percentage of your time over it's entire lifespan is spent using a it on a plane?
